I thought of Michele in the Bahamas all weekend, thinking this is truly her year of the hurricane. And now here we go. Each news station has Rita coming in at a different place, but Houston will definitely get something. Galveston was ordered evacuated 2 hours ago. All schools in the area - except for Houston - have canceled classes the rest of the week. I will be doing my store run tomorrow, but many places are already out of water. One Sams Club sold 3 trucks full by the middle of the afternoon. More is coming in tomorrow, but I sure do dread the lines. Hello bathtubs!
Our "guests" are not happy being moved again. Now they are off to Ft Chaffee, Ark. At this point, Clay & I are staying even though we are probably going to be on the dirty side. Today was my last day of having to do anything important until the end of the month. I was looking forward to a few days to relax, but now I guess I can "watch" the weather.
I had been starting to think about what clothes to take on the trip and have changed gears to what to take if we leave. I have been through Alicia and many tropical storms, but each one is different.
Think of me tomorrow when I start my search for bottle water & then get to stand in a gas or check-out line forever.
Will keep you all updated as long as I can. I know these things have a way of changing, but Texas is going to get something. Just what, we won't know yet.
